PHOTON SCIENCE FACULTY POSITION (Associate or Full
Professor)

The Photon Science Department at SLAC and
Stanford University invites applications for a tenured position at the
Associate or Full Professor level. The successful applicant will provide
technical and intellectual leadership to the Stanford faculty with a focus on research
at the frontiers of X-ray ultrafast science. This will involve engaging with
Department colleagues and mentoring graduate students and postdoctoral.

The successful applicant will also direct the
Science, Research and Development (SRD) Division at the Linac Coherent Light
Source (LCLS). Reporting to the Associate Laboratory Director (ALD) for LCLS,
the SRD Division Director will be expected to develop and execute World leading
research programs at LCLS and function as a critical member of the LCLS
Leadership team. The successful applicant will:

Direct and
develop a research team ofscientific
and technical staff, both individually and collectively.

The Linac Coherent
Light Source (LCLS) is an internationally pre-eminent X-ray science facility,
operated by Stanford University at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory on
behalf of the Department of Energy, Office of Science. This facility provides
world-leading scientific capabilities to a global user community, covering a
very broad research portfolio.

This is a pivotal
time for LCLS, and a rare opportunity to shape the scientific nature and
direction of the facility. We are nearing completion of LCLS-II, representing
more than a billion dollars of investment in a new accelerator complex that
will increase the X-ray repetition rate and average power by almost 4 orders of
magnitude. LCLS-II will transform our ability to observe electronic and
molecular dynamics, with a new suite of end stations being designed to make optimum
use of the new sources. A subsequent upgrade to enable the delivery of high
energy X-rays (LCLS-II-HE) is also underway, opening up the study of rare
events, transient phases, and heterogeneous systems with atomic resolution and
femtosecond precision.

The successful
applicant will have a Ph.D. in a scientific field strongly related to LCLS
science, with at least 10 years of post-Ph.D. professional experience
including:

Extensive body of research, development, or
applied work that is internationally acknowledged to have defined major
advancements inresearch

Extensive experience leading and managing
scientific and technical researchgroups
and proven ability to mentor junior staff and peers, with a strong focus on
careerdevelopment
